The Board have no copy of any "regulations"

of the kind referred to in the Governor's communication.

They may state, however, that in certain cases local

authorities have obtained by local Acts such powers as

seemed necessary to suit their own needs. As examples

of clauses requiring the consumption of smoke, the Board

may refer you to section 39 of the Blackburn Improvement,

Act, 1882, as amended by section 86 of the Blackburn

Corporation Act 1898, to section 37 of the Blackpool

Improvement Act 1899, to section 38 (G) of the West Ham

Corporation Act 1893, to section 23 (1) of the Public

Health (London) Act 1891, and to section 42 of the

Newcastle-upon-Tyne Improvement Act 1853 as amplified

by section 52 of the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Tramways and

Improvement Act 1899; while as regards an enactment

for local purposes directed against the emission of

black smoke in such quantity as to be a nuisance,

reference may be made to section 37 (2) (A) of the

Blackpool Improvement Act, 1899.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Assistant Secretary.
